Mandarin Oriental strengthened its standing in the 2026 Forbes Travel Guide Five-Star Awards, earning strong global recognition.
The Group received the
highest number of newly awarded Five-Star hotels this year, adding four
properties: Mandarin Oriental Savoy, Zurich; Mandarin Oriental Qianmen,
Beijing; Mandarin Oriental, Barcelona; and Emirates Palace Mandarin Oriental,
Abu Dhabi.
Mandarin Oriental is
also one of two brands worldwide with 11 properties holding multiple Five-Star
awards across hotel, spa, and restaurant categories.
Mandarin Oriental, New
York marked its 20th consecutive year of dual Five-Star recognition for both
its hotel and spa, making it the longest-running double Five-Star property
globally.
Other recognised
properties include Mandarin Oriental, Costa Navarino, the only double Five-Star
property in Greece, and Mandarin Oriental, Barcelona, the only hotel and spa in
the city with Five-Star status.
“Forbes Five-Star recognition is one of the
most rigorous benchmarks in luxury hospitality, and these achievements speak to
the consistency, craftsmanship and emotional connection our colleagues deliver
across every touchpoint,” said Amanda Hyndman, Chief Operating Officer of
Mandarin Oriental. “From landmark destinations such as New York and Hong Kong
to resort experiences like Costa Navarino and Lake Como, this recognition
reflects our belief that true luxury is created through mastery, care and an
uncompromising commitment to exceptional experiences.” -TradeArabia News Service
